How to await real time like setTimeout, and setInterval

[terse lodge]

I like the methods Script API Made like system.setTickTimeout and System.setTickInterval however i have problems when the server lags. All my timeouts are way longer than they should be and it makes the addon look very slow, even though its just waiting to long because of lag.

So i want a system that will await actual time, instead of tick time so i can make my script look alot better.

@dense ice can you send the .ts file

this code looks very bad

[dense ice]

Okay here you go. Idk why I didn't upload the ts file there

[terse lodge]

thanks way better

[terse lodge]

is this not laggy?

[terse lodge]

@dense ice Okay ive redesigned your system, this should be alot safer to use and better documented

(Pao essentials really beating you rn)

[steel socket]

Also the rubedo and curry discord servers have fallen into anarchy while you have been inactive.

[terse lodge]

lmao

fr

i havent posted on my yt in a while

[terse lodge]

i might be able to actually bring a chestgui auction house!

ive been working on something very cool for my pokemon addon

i probably wont bring back the factions addon tho

[terse lodge]

yo but this system is very laggy, expecially for setInterval

[steel socket]

Pao is already doing that with a server essentials system. It even uses an entity database to store items, meaning it even saves metadata.

[terse lodge]

whos pao?

Paoeni. He's a brilliant developer that's been working on a server essentials plugin.

[steel socket]

I'll send you a invite to his server.

[terse lodge]

oh

[steel socket]

He doesn't post much on YT lol

[dense ice]

can you elaborate?

[terse lodge]

It’s just laggy, it’s using a constant while loop

Check the code I sent

[astral fiber]

the most accurate way is looping with await null and feching the Date.now()

there is no good way of doing that

[terse lodge]

@astral fiber i dont have await null in this

can you check this

[astral fiber]

what is "this"?

[terse lodge]

The file, I replied to a message

[dense ice]

if you want to update the file feel free to submit a PR on the repo. We don’t generally accept code fixes outside of the github
